He's leaving SA.

He's leaving SA.

I'm pretty sure there are plenty worse hells than SA.

Depends. This thread - he's had a really bad time with Eskom & co. compared to your or my issues.
Keep smiling somehow, yep, leave if you can, many more saying yep.

 

[RunningFromFat]

Depends

Depends on what? He somehow managed to escape his 'hell' so it could not have been that hellish.

There are, but he seemed to have far more electricity outages above and beyond the official LS schedule.

Whatever man, you stand up for SA if you want. What do you mean by hell anyway? Biblical?

Feel free to look up my post history @RunningFromFat. Looking past the power issues, we had an insane surge in violent contact crime a few months back after we started experiencing 14+ hour blackouts, especially at night. Was so bad I sent the family out of the country. It's not a case of "oh no SA bad waaa", I spent nearly a month staying up all night with a shotgun in my office or sleeping with my EDC loaded under my pillow. Not doing that again. Ever.

@DarkSt0rm All the best for you and your family

Winter has one last sting, as a cold-front passing Cape Town on Fri 25th, will push up through the southern and eastern half of SA (bringing light snow to the mountains), and reaching into Zimbabwe by Sun 27th:
